To aZZg//J wm t may concern Be it known that .,I, QUITO W. FELDMAN, a citizenof the United States, and resident of the city of St. Louis, State oflllissouri, have invented certainv lnew'and useful Im proverbe/nts in a. CombinationxFaucet and rinking Fountain, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in a combination faucet and drinking fountain` and has for its object a spigot having two discharge or outlet openings, and a valve for controlling the same. p

A further object of my invention is to construct a faucet which can be used for delivering water in the usual manner as well as providing a drinking or bubble fountain, either o-ne of the discharges being operated by the same valve.

The essential feature of my invention is to provide a means whereby a faucet can be used for two purposes' and operated by the same valve.

Figure 1, is a vertical sectional view of my invention. .Y

Figure 2, is a horizontal sectional view of the same.

Figure 3, is a side view of my invention.

Figure 4.-, is a detail perspective view of the excentric made use of for operating the water control valve.

Figure 5, is a detail sectional view of the valve portion of the faucet showing the position of the valve for opening the bubble fountain. Y

Figure 6, is a similar view to Figure 5l but showing the faucet portion open.

In the general construction of my invention I provide a body portion 7 comprising a tubular section 8 its outer free end having screw threads 9 for engagement with the pipe connection of the plumbing system.

The mouth of the tubular section 8'is in the form of a valve seat 10 in which rests and is seated the usual fuller ball 11 which is secured to a stem 12 extendinginto the tubular section and its opposite end fastened to an arm 13 of an eXcentric 14.

On the body portion 7 is an upper extension l5 which comprises a drinking or bubble fountain 16, its upper end is provided with a sieve yor perforated disc 17 which is held in position by the cap 18 of non corrodible material.

The front end of the faucet is provided With the usual discharge nozzle 19, both .an opening 1919. serial-.No.aooio .f

the .nozzleand A.fountain are pro-vided .with

passages .-20 .and 21, `.and the opening [closing of the 'same is controlled gby the .cyl-

inder valve core 22', this valve core ...is ein the iform cfa hollow cylinder `wfhicl'i has .at the .point .indicatedbyithe numeral 23, the end 24 is provided with a pin 25 which fits in the aperture 26 formed in the eXcentric 14, this pin is set to one side so that whenithe valve is turned in. either direction the excentric will move back pushing on the rod erstem 12 freeing thel fuller ball 11 from the seat 10 thereby permitting the water to enter the faucet.

The opposite end of the cylinder valve is provided with a trunnion 27 to which is fastened a handle 28 by which the valve is turned. The valve is held in the casing with leakproof connection b y the cap 29.

In order to ope-rate the bubble fountain, the valve handle 28 is moved down turning the valve core to the position as shown in Figure 5, and to open the nozzle 19 the handle is turned up,lwhich places the valve in the position Aas shown in Figure 6.

In either case when one is open the lother is closed, this is accomplished by the solid portion of the valve core, the hollowness of the valve is tov permit the water to enterk thereby enabling its pressure to keep the valve in close con-tact with the bore in which it is seated. y

By this structure of faucet, an ordinary hydrant can be equipped with a faucet which can be utilized for both water disfully described my invention what tain, said extension communicating with the interior of the cylindrical valve in one position of the latter and a nozzle extendino` on the fore vend ofthe body portion and communicating with the interior of the cylindrical valve in a second osition thereof, an eccentric connected wlth the end of Vthe valve, means for controlling Vthe admission of water into the body portion and means connecting said eccentric and said 'controlling controlling means, substantially as specied.

2. A combined faucet and drinking fountam comprising a casting consisting of a being cut away to form an opening to correspond with the ports of the nozzle. and

Afountain, a pin projecting on the end of the valve, an eccentric located on the pin, a rod connected to the 'free arm of the eccentric and an admission valve located on the rod by which water is admitted intol the casting by the movement of the cylindricalfvalve,

' substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses. c
